Player Ratings

Player Ratings

Coaches:As you know, “Balanced Teams” is one of AYSO’s Six Core Philosophies. We rely on you to provide accurate player ratings at the end of each season. These ratings will help guide us as we form teams for the upcoming season.

The Coach reports player ratings to their Division Coordinator during the Evaluation Period. The ratings need to be as accurate as possible.

USING THE AYSO RATING SCALE:

As you rate your players, please take into consideration the following:

Player’s skill level in relation to other teams you have faced – not just in relation to your own team. Concretely, a player who may be a 5 on your team, may only be a 3 when compared to other teams your have faced.

Age level appropriate skills.

Don’t stack rank your team. In other words, if you're team went undefeated, you may not have a 5 rate player; or perhaps you have two 1 rate players that played well together. As a coach, it is your responsibility to differentiate your player talent. If you have questions, or need more information, please contact your Division Coordinator or the Coach Administrator at coach1@ayso498.org.
